2013 Chevrolet Camaro — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 251 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Electrical system82 (32.7%)Official recall records for this system: 7, covering model years 2010–2016.
• Steering23 (9.2%)Official recall records for this system: 9, covering model years 1995–2018.
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)16 (6.4%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 1999–2022.
• Engine15 (6.0%)
• Air bags (restraint system)13 (5.2%)Official recall records for this system: 13, covering model years 2012–2021.
• Brakes12 (4.8%)

Other / uncategorized: 26 classifications (10.4%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (5,152 records, model years 1995–2024) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and brakes.
• Safety recalls (102 records, model years 1995–2022) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), steering and lights.
• Manufacturer communications (25,233 records, model years 1995–2024) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 145reports included a mileage
• 46,492average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
